A specially formulated low odour hot natural adhesive, manufactured using Technical Gelatine, primarily designed for use on Stokes & Smith, Caledex and Nubal coating and box covering machines.

This adhesive has very high tack and high solids content. We recommend that it should be used as supplied where heavier papers are being bonded. It contains other ingredients to give the adhesive excellent non-warp characteristics, especially when undiluted, and has the capacity to spread evenly without striation lines.

It may, however, be diluted with warm water to suit a wide range of box covering applications where normal papers are being used, and where there is a requirement for longer open time, such as on Swift and Balema machines.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

Supplied in 12.5 kilo cases. Slabs are partially cut into approximately 1 kg., easily separated, pieces.
The adhesive should be placed into the adhesive trough and heated to a temperature of 50°- 60°C (120°- 140°F) when it will liquify and be ready for use. In no circumstances must the heat of the adhesive exceed 60°C (140°F). Continuous running above 60° C will cause the adhesive to deteriorate.
The adhesive can be used as supplied, but may be diluted by up to 15% to suit the work in hand (dilute with warm water). If evaporation has occurred, small quantities of warm water may be added.

NB: Open time of this adhesive can be lengthened by the addition of warm water.

The adhesive is completely non-foaming and entirely innocuous.

F.D.A. STANDARDS: The materials used in this formulation conform to the requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations 21 CFR175, 105.

Effect on the Environment

Being a natural colloid, this adhesive is water soluble and any paper/board bonded with it is completely recyclable. It is also biodegradable in normal effluent processing plants and will break down in the soil to become an organic plant nutrient.
